The Navy chose Heliocol due to the system's unique individual tube design. The individual tube design virtually eliminates lift caused by the strong winds in the area without requiring any penetrations into the roof surface. One of several Heliocol systems heating the swimming pools of United States Armed Forces, this installation saves taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in pool heating bills through the use of an environmentally safe renewable energy technology. Heliocol has become the vendor of choice of the U.S. Armed Forces when it comes to heating the military's pools year-round. This installation enabled the 32nd Naval Station to become a candidate for the Navy Energy Conservation Award.
